NCIt definition : A method of hematopoietic reconstitution utilizing stem cells harvested from the circulating
blood of a patient or donor. Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) is
used for the treatment of certain blood disorders, following partial or complete bone
marrow ablation, or following high dose chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer.
Immature circulating blood cells, similar to stem cells in the bone marrow, are removed
before treatment. The cells are then given to the patient after treatment to help
the bone marrow recover and continue producing healthy blood cells. Transplantation
may be autologous (the patient's own blood cells are used), allogeneic (blood cells
are donated by someone else), or syngeneic (blood cells are donated by an identical
twin).;
Alternative definition : NICHD: A therapeutic procedure that involves the transplantation of mobilized hematopoietic
stem cells harvested from a donor's peripheral blood to a recipient.; NCI-GLOSS: A method of replacing blood-forming cells destroyed by cancer treatment.
Immature blood cells (stem cells) in the circulating blood that are similar to those
in the bone marrow are given to the patient after treatment. This helps the bone marrow
recover and continue producing healthy blood cells. Transplantation may be autologous
(an individual's own blood cells saved earlier), allogeneic (blood cells donated by
someone else), or syngeneic (blood cells donated by an identical twin).; CDISC: A therapeutic procedure that involves the transplantation of stem cells harvested
from the circulating blood of a patient or donor.;
